Today in writer's workshop, we did a "silent write," where students connected with their ideas and got them into their writer's notebooks. Writing is such an important activity for sixth graders -- it helps them to articulate their thoughts and tell their stories, plus it helps them to develop as readers. In fact, one of the best ways to improve reading is to write, because all proficient writers are proficient readers.
We also did a language arts exercise on sentence-ending punctuation.
In science, we reviewed lab safety and equipment and talked about variables and how scientists use variables to move from the unknown to the known.
Have a great Thursday evening with your family.
